[Silly Little Cars] Cargo body type

Another thing to consider ------ commercial usage/registration of your Cushman voids out the Personal Lines insurance policy.  It’s hard enough to get these insured as is, and I don’t know of any carrier who will insure a Cushman as a commercial vehicle.

Commercial licenses / loading zones vary by city and location.  While you may have a commercial plate for the state, some cities will require you to have carry specialized windshield permits as well, which is essentially a year's worth of parking for several hundred dollars.  You're still limited to the time specified on the loading zone sign, which is usually 30 minutes.

There is another complication to getting a commercial permit. You may have to file and pay fuel surcharge fees / usage fees to the state to operate as a commercial vehicle.  Again, this could run you several hundred dollars a year.  Or it could be free depending on your state.

For Washington state, it could easily cost you $1K a year just for all the fees and taxes to go commercial, and that is far more expensive than parking as a motorcycle costs.  Not worth it for me.

Can you register a Go4 with a cargo box or a Cushman Van as a commercial vehicle so you can park at loading zones? Thanks!
